In classic Western style Larry McMurtry illustrates the timeless conflict between the modernity and the Old West through the eyes of Texas cattlemen.  Horseman  Pass By tells the story of Homer Bannon  an old-time cattleman who epitomizes the frontier values of honesty and decency  and Hud  his unscrupulous stepson. Caught in the middle is the narrator  Homers young grandson Lonnie  who is as much drawn to his grandfathers strength of character as he is to Huds hedonism and materialism.  When first published in 1961  Horseman  Pass By caused a sensation in Texas literary circles for its stark  realistic portrayal of the struggles of a changing West in the years following World War II. Never before had a writer managed to encapsulate its environment with such unsentimental realism. Today  memorable characters  powerful themes  and illuminating detail make Horseman  Pass By vintage McMurtry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67898316685365,"sku":"ByrdShop_068485385X","price":43.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780684853857.jpg?v=1793783760","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/horseman-pass-by-a-novel-9780684853857","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
